Poetry

Do not remember the names. 
Somebody is waiting in the wings. 
 
It is very dark here. The drums 
will break the mother’s heart. 
 
The death will not accept the 
dew on the grass. She wants tears; 
 
The Buddha is taking a turn 
in his sleep. Why is he so restless? 
 
O, my father, I am watching the 
fields turning into piles of ash. 
 
Cannot shut the eyes for a jiffy. 
Will you write something for the god?
